Rx
Going prescribed is a measurement for people at our gym. It is a benchmark. Some people use it as a goal to achieve. Regardless, whether people use Rx weights or not it should not be their first priority.

Proper mechanics, appropriate intensity level are stressed prior to going anywhere near prescribed weights. People quickly realize that during Crossfit WODs, relatively light weights used with high intensity can help achieve profound effects.

Increased strength, decrease body fat and improved physical and mental capacities are all side effects.
